When thunder rumbles and the time of destiny is at hand, a blend of Apollo’s Moon hails the shepherd god Apollo, who arrives in a fiery chariot led by white horses, armed with his lyre, laurel crown and bow and arrows to rapture us through the upper troposphere and redeem us from the dragon. Associated with four Archangels, Apollo’s Moon is primarily ruled by the Archangel Uriel. Conductor of the heavens and ruler of the earth element, Uriel is known as the Archangel of salvation and angel of destiny who comes in thunder riding a white horse to oversee repentance and redeem the elect. Uriel governs the luminaries and outer space, making Apollo’s Moon a potent facilitator of dropping hesitation to do something out of this world, dislodging terrestrial constraints, bold creativity (e.g., building a skyscraper, going to the Moon) and removing hesitation to be in the spotlight. Together these Archangels rule the zodiac signs of Aquarius, Gemini, Virgo, Leo, Taurus and Libra. Principally associated with the humanitarian Aquarius and people of the Sun (summertime), Apollo’s Moon brings in higher levels of collective consciousness and unprecedented exponential growth. As Uriel presides over repentance and the elect (those who will not deceive), Apollo’s Moon promotes genuine sorrow over wrongdoing, hails intellectual honesty through accurate communication, and acts as an impetus to conversion experiences. The illnesses pertinent to this blend are those connected with the lungs (e.g., asthma, lung cancer), with Apollo’s Moon calling in sacred breath and spiritual “space” to support the lungs when feeling constricted, inundated or confined. Among the animal totems synchronizing with Apollo’s Moon are the dolphin and falcon, compelling totems of extraterrestrial communication and advancing teamwork on big group projects (dolphin), providing endurance for long journeys and exerting sovereignty (falcon). Harmonizing with this blend are its earthly correlatives, malachite and Gaia stone, known for transporting enlightened mission control-like leadership and imparting good luck (malachite), and dissipating “us” versus “them” mentalities and promoting negotiation (Gaia stone). Among the plants attuning with Apollo’s Moon is the laurel tree, the leaves of which induce Apollo’s prophetic gifts. With the adventure and courage of an astronaut and the discipline and enthusiasm to follow through, Apollo’s Moon aids in controlling destiny by activating the body’s lower three chakras (energy centers) and connecting that energy to the upper four, clearing energetic blocks in the spine to propel us into action and onto our life’s work. Engendering fidelity to a person, plan or goal, importing luck and favorable flight conditions to ventures and restoring connections between alienated parties (particularly estranged family members) are some of the strengths of this blend.
